The Spirits of Christmas

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

It feels like it’s been forever since I actually read A Christmas Carol. I’ve always liked the story, what’s not to love about a ghost story set at Christmas time. I think that Ebenezer Scrooge’s description is one of my favorite descriptions of a character. He was so dark a character in that first description that even seeing eye dogs dragged their owners away from him to keep them safe. But we learn he wasn’t always so. The Ghost of Christmas that come to visit Scrooge shows us a happier Scrooge. He wasn’t always so dark. Things get darker as he meets more spirits though. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is darkest of all, showing us how Scrooge’s spirit has been twisted. Write a description for your darkest character that shows just how dark they’ve become.
